Rap is Sin
What is sin?
Is it only when
Our flesh will win?
Temporary pleasure
for an unfathomable end?
And what is rap?
Is it only a rhyme and move?
A hip hop and groove?
Speaking only on the sins
Sex, Money, and Drugs too?
Can I not make a dime
On a rhyme speaking of our time?
As Tupac did in "keep ya head up"
On many lines?
It's like today
I can't rap about making a way
Or perhaps to say
I've lived to see another day.
But only to confirm my pleasures
On living with temporary forevers
And current measures
That exceed my futuristic thoughts of heavenly treasures..
Yaa, that's it.
I can make a dime
If I make a rhyme
Discussing the demeanor of a girl
While demeaning their twirl
And their hair with a simple curl
That isn't quite perfect
To fit
The defect
Of men's percept
tion Of how they should be..
And we didn't even mention
The extension
Of other sinful subjects
That bring attention..
This world today
Makes it seem
As if to gleam
In that industry--
Rap must be about sin
And a sin is to rap.
